River Dee, Protected river in North Wales.

The River Dee flows through Wales and England for 113 kilometers, starting at Dduallt mountain and entering the Irish Sea near Chester.

The waterway marked the boundary of the Kingdom of Gwynedd during the medieval period and received its name from ancient Brythonic languages.

The Dee Valley preserves numerous heritage structures, including Iron Age hillforts, medieval castles, and the nineteenth-century Pontcysyllte Aqueduct engineering achievement.

Water extraction from the river supports agriculture, manufacturing industries, and power generation while maintaining ecological balance for Atlantic salmon populations.

The river system contains specialized limestone formations near Graianrhyd, featuring extensive underground cave networks and distinct carboniferous landscapes.
